  • Publication number: 20240069578
    Abstract: A control system is configured to monitor operation of a flow control, like a control valve. These configurations can use of continuous or real-time data to evaluate fitness or function of the device under operating conditions. This feature can alert operators to problems or issues with one or more devices, or process lines in total. These problems may, for example, indicate that a valve is incorrectly sized for actual working conditions. As a result, engineers may find that the valve is too big (or oversize) or too small (or undersize) because the design process for layout of the process line relies upon a design load that reflects a future maximum (plus some factor of safety), and not the actual working conditions that might prevail once the device is in service in the field.

  • Publication number: 20220062404
    Abstract: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is an important human pathogen. Limited evidence suggests that antibodies can protect humans against lethal CCHFV disease, but the protective efficacy of antibodies has never been evaluated in adult animal models. Here adult mice were used to investigate the protection provided by glycoprotein-targeting neutralizing and non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CCHFV infection. A single non-neutralizing antibody (mAb-13G8) was identified that protected adult type I interferon deficient mice >90% when treatment was initiated prior to virus exposure and >60% when administered after virus exposure. Neutralizing antibodies known to protect neonatal mice from lethal CCHFV infection, failed to confer protection regardless of IgG subclass. The target of mAb-13G8 was identified as GP38, one of multiple proteolytically-cleaved glycoproteins derived from the CCHFV glycoprotein precursor polyprotein.
